  • The Air that We Breathe

    The Air That We Breathe

    Allegheny County’s poor air quality has been an issue for decades. And while it’s certainly cleaner than in the past, present-day pollution sources threaten marginalized communities – and us all.

  • The Air that we Breathe part two

    The Air That We Breathe, Part Two

    This documentary is a continuation of “The Air That We Breathe.” Learn more about the issues around our air quality and meet some of the people fighting for cleaner air.

    Forest Bathing: The Healing Nature of Nature

    New studies suggest that spending time in nature, especially among trees, offers scientifically proven benefits to both mental and physical wellbeing.

    WQED Mini Docs: Our Water, Land, and Air

    Mini documentaries from the WQED archives are compiled into this new half-hour program. These are stories of environmental neglect that led to positive change in our water, our land and our air.

  • The Allegheny River Islands: Urban Oases

    The Allegheny River Islands: Urban Oases

    Explore the islands that dot the Allegheny River. View not only the conservation efforts – but what’s actually there: from wildlife and native plants to human inhabitants and artifacts left behind.

  • Two members of Three Rivers Waterkeeper on their boat

    Two Guys, a Boat, and a Cause

    WQED profiles Three Rivers Waterkeeper, a non-profit organization that serves as a voice for the waterways throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania.

  • The race to save Pennsylvania's bats

    The Race to Save Pennsylvania’s Bats

    Bats have gotten a bad rap for centuries. But bats control pests that destroy crops and spread disease – a service worth billions of dollars in agriculture, forestry and human health care.
